He made no move to answer and Adelaide frowned slightly as they walked into the room. He seemed to trail after her like a little puppy, not walk in with his head held high. Well he should considering who he was taking. Still, they were announced and walked into the room that was already quickly filling with people.

"Quite a turn out," she said, glancing around at the various masks that were found around every corner. "Perhaps we could start with a refreshment? I'm quite thirsty."

Once again Rabastan merely nodded. The farther they got into the room the harder it got for him to breathe. He could feel the crowds pressing in on him, surrounding him, staring at him. His heart was racing and all he could think of was getting out.

He all but dragged Adelaide to the refreshment table, where there were at least fewer people, and drank two glasses of something foamy in quick succession. It did a little to calm his nerves, pulling him back from the brink of an all out panic attack, and he drank a third glass a little more slowly, finally able to turn and look at Adelaide without wanting to pass out or vomit. He held out a glass for her with a minutely shaking hand.

"D-drink? I-I don't k-k-know what it i-is, but it's n-nice."

Adelaide stood back and watched as Rabastan downed one drink after the other. Did he know there was alcohol in that? He had to...what kind of person would just throw back punch like that? She only smiled when he seemed to remember she was standing beside him, nodding her head and reaching for the glass he offered. She tasted it, tasting only a slight aftertaste of the alcohol in there. Perhaps for the better. She was sure Malfoy Sr. would not want a bunch of drunk patrons at his gala.

"Feeling a little better?" she asked, turning to look at him, her cup rising to her lips.

	Rabastan nodded, smiling slightly. He no longer felt like the room was closing in on him, if fact, the room was actually spinning a bit. It was definitely an improvement. "Yeah." He smiled at her, finishing off his last drink and setting the cup down. "You know, I do!" He laughed a little, Merlin he felt incredible! "Did you want to dance?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She made a mental note to inquire to the punch later and see what was in it. Whatever it was she would need to make herself at school and give to Rabastan every now and then. She was surprised when he offered to dance, but she only nodded her head, downing the rest of her own drink and placing the empty cup on the table.

"I would love to," she said smiling and took his arm to go down to the dance floor.

Rabastan led Adelaide out onto the dance floor, wondering idly why he couldn't seem to walk in a straight line. Everything was getting fuzzy...

The band struck up a lively waltz and Rab attempted to lead, though he was a terrible dancer even when he was sober. It was more a stumbling mess than a dance, and as the room spun faster Rab began to feel sick.

"Urg, why's it all spinny?"

Adelaide tried her best to maintain a calm facade through the whole thing, but it was hard to do as Rabastan stumbled over himself. She didn't like the pallor of his face either and she slowed their dance, touching his arm.

"Rabastan, maybe it would be better if you sat down for a little bit," she said. He looked like he needed some fresh air. "Why don't we go outside?"

	Rab nodded, letting Adelaide begin to steer him outside. "I, I think there was alcohol in that punch!" He said, eyes wide. He felt awful, his stomach was churning and it was all he could do not to fall over. "Everything is moving..." He groaned, then turned and vomited violently all over Adelaides shoes.

"Well, of course there was-" Adelaide started to state the obvious of the punch, thinking that he had known that in the first place. But her statement was interrupted by Rabastan throwing up right in front of her. She tried to step back from it, but it still seemed to splatter on her shoes. She closed her eyes, trying to remain calm through the whole thing, but she couldn't do it.

"Oh Rabastan!" The disgust was obvious in her voice and it suddenly was too much to take. Favor or no, she had come to the dance with him, did she really need to stay around that much longer? She looked at him, a pitying look in her eyes before stepping around to rush inside to clean herself up. Really, what boy couldn't hold their alcohol?
